I saw some pics months ago when I first posted...but these were super small pics and ones that could not be shared. But that's ok, those who choose to believe me and know where I used to work, cool beans for you. To all the other doubters...I get it. Not a problem, I would be skeptical as well. I would love to see those pictures... when we get confirmation of it on September 1st of course. I have heard it will either be a re-release of the original or a new update UCS Falcon. Of course with all of the new pieces introduced in the last decade it would be wise for Lego to make it much more accurate than the previous set. Quote
blbills Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Fuel to the UCS MF fire... On vacation to Seattle right now and stopped at a local brick shop. They had several 1st edition UCS Falcons and said they sell about 1 a month in the $5-6k range. HOWEVER, he told me that he is basically "fire-selling" another 4 of them before the end of next month for a price of around $4k. I was playing dumb and pried a bit on why the urgency. He told me that he had several concrete sources that a new Falcon was on it's way in September and was very worried about what that was going to do to the resale value of is current Falcons. He said a lot of other things that have already been rumored about several times here like the price being more than the original one, the canopy, etc... Seemed pretty legit but who knows. I guess we'll all find out in a month... Quote

I think all of the re-sellers are probably worried about the cost of the original UCS Millennium Falcon if they believe a new version is coming out this year. I still think that the cost of 10179 will still be pretty high for nostalgia reasons, but fans of the ship would like to get one at a better price and hopefully a new model rather than a re-release.

Lobot Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Yet more UCS Falcon-related fuel directly from LEGO's facebook page (link): 'The London Bus comes in a box that is over 20,000 cm³ but something BIGGER is coming... 4.86 times bigger, to be exact!' Credit to Covi on Brickset. Quote
adamtea Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Has to be the falcon, with all the rumours of size it can't be anything else. Or maybe 4.86 London Bus'.... Edited August 1, 2017 by adamtea Quote
NorwegianAFOL95 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Tweaked the lighting a bit. Look at the right side you can see what looks like the front of the Falcon. Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 Falcon will be bigger, much bigger than Wayne Manor. Price as well! Quote

TheRealDickDastardly Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 From Bryan Morse's reply on Twitter to the above post, allow me to share another picture with the lighting changed, take a look in the top left hand corner of the box, you can see the cockpit! Quote
Servertijd Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 This is really exciting lol, if it is the falcon my money is going to get blown so so much xD Quote
G59 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 When the UCS MF released will be, disappear my money will Quote
Deathstroke77 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Looks like its finally about to revealed, if you look pretty closely you can see some outlines of what seems like the Falcon. Thank. The. Maker. Quote

Can genuinely see it there. Edited August 1, 2017 by Lobot : Please don't quote images, thanks Quote
Tavis75 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 That part count sounds a little too high, think the 4.86 times comment is probably just referring to the box size. Quote

Probably true, but rumours have put the part count in the range of 7000-8000 pieces, so it's definitely possible. Quote

However, if it refers to the price, it would be £109.99 x 4.86 = £534.50. Assuming a licensing cost on top of that, we can assume it would be about £600, which was how much it was rumoured to cost.

I think that might just be random lighting on the wrapping, doesn't seem the right place on the box for the cockpit, if it was there there would be a massive empty space on the bottom left of the box art, plus I think it would end up partially under the logo and set information.

Spongebob456 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Possible reveal on The Star Wars Show tomorrow? Quote
